*Miles has a habit of... collecting things. Especially since learning how to pick locks from Wedy. Even when restricting himself to uninhabited mundane rooms he finds a lot of things, which is fun, but is beginning to clutter up the room he shares with Teru. And because Miles knows that Teru prefers things to be neat, he's made a decision

[ is that his Matt? no, it can't be. but it is another small Matt, so he goes up to say hi. ]

Hey... You're another small Matt? How old are you?

[icklemail]

I'm eight, and I'm only kinda a Matt. I'm Miles. How old are you?

*It's a very important question, of course.*

[mellocakes]

[ smiles and stands up taller ]

I'm ten. Hi Miles.

[ looks at the pile of things, frowning ]

What's all this stuff?

[icklemail]

Everyone's taller than me. And older. *good-natured grumpiness*

Um, it's just things I've found everywhere, since I don't need them and Teru likes our room to be clean and stuff. Is there anything you need?

[terusagoodboy]

*runs over to him, excited* Miles-kun, did you hear? Pink-L came back!

What are you doing?

[icklemail]

*just stares for a moment*

... he came back? But I thought...

Um, I'm getting rid of some of the stuff I found cuz it makes the place messy. And it's better if things are neat, right?

[terusagoodboy]

I think the Assistant brought him back. He was just there in one of the corridors.

*looks at the things* Oh... You didn't have to...

[icklemail]

That's - really? Like, really-really? He's not a - zombie or anything?

Well, we don't need them and other people might so I thought it might be fun.

[icklemail]

Operation? *innocent face!*

[icklemail]

Loads of stuff. Oh! Um, wait here!

*disappears behind the bedroom door for a second; emerges, quite shyly, with a couple of bars of chocolate to offer up to Mihael*

...garage yard hallway sale? [Curious.]

[icklemail]

Yeah! Except we don't have money or anything so you can just have things if you want them.

[downtothefilter]

You wouldn't happen to have any black nail polish, would you?

[icklemail]

Um... lemme check!

*he disappears into his room, emerging a few minutes later with several little nail polish bottles*

There's one but it's kinda almost empty... but look, if you mix these ones together you might get black! *the others are deep purple and dark blue*

L is wandering the Mansion, looking cheerful. He's just re-aquainting himself with the place. He walks down the hallway, dragging his hand against the wall, with a smile. And then he spots Miles, who he hasn't seen in forever. So he goes to say hi.

Miles!

[icklemail]

...

*Miles just stares. and stares. and stares.*

... L?

[justiceishot]

(L's gotten this reaction a few times. He crouches in front of Miles, with a grin.)

Hello, Miles.

[icklemail]

Um.

*he looks nervous, and confused, and a little hesitant.*

But - you were...
